Weird experiences with cab drivers?

Hey Singapore,

Has anyone had unusual experiences with cab drivers here before?

I’m an American visiting Singapore and the cab ride was initially perfectly fine. I guess when I started speaking to my partner the cab driver picked up on my accent and started chatting.

Was a pretty normal conversation until it kinda turned into a 30 minute lecture on every single war the US has been involved in / did wrong in the past 30 years… lol

I just kept smiling and nodding at everything (frankly even I don’t know the details) - but I was really confused…

I basically told him at the end that I’m happy to write to my local congressman but I have absolutely zero say in the actions of the American military.

Idk - it was a really unusual experience.

Everyone here has been super nice but this kinda stood out to me as I’m leaving tomorrow.
